The king of pony ska punk is back at it with this standout track from the newest Ponies at Dawn: Eternal compilation album. My Rainbow Horse And Me is a comedic narrative about Rainbow Dash appearing out of the tv and living as a lazy roommate. The song is super catchy, boasting expertly crafted horns, top-notch guitar work, and a silly, romantic theme that only Francis could craft!

Age of Vinyl – Heroes of the Sky (Hay Tea Remix) | Liquid Drum & Bass
A wonderful re-work of Age of Vinyl’s original featured on Ponies at Dawn’s Skyward, Hay Tea shows off his talent for creating incredibly satisfying drum & bass basslines and creating an enveloping atmosphere. This track takes the motifs of the original and is a more ethereal, direct, and punchy imagining, contrasting with the original’s serenity. Nonetheless, both complement each other beautifully and this Drumscape Library exclusive is sure to show up in your playlists soon!
TCB – NOTHING IS FOREVER (2019) | Future Bass
TCB pours a lot of emotion into this rendition of NOTHING IS FOREVER. A very reflective and melancholic piece filled with a myriad of vocal chops and a tense, but heart warming atmosphere. The second half of the song makes a great use of complex arpeggios and a solid break beat and is an excellent switch up that still carries its vibe and message and is a unique and wonderful track!
Nicolas Dominique – The Last Wish | Ambient
Retrospective nostalgia is embedded in this ambient piece celebrating the Friendship is Magic series for its long run. The soothing pads, the crisp atmosphere and the soft, Eastern percussion really carries an adventurous and mysterious vibe to it as Twilight wishes for us to remain good as we travel into the unknown.
[Equinity] LaunchSix – Marshmallow |Dubstep / Riddim
From Equinity 01: Stellar, LaunchSix released Marshmallow. This one is a lot of fun for the bass heads out there with powerful percussion and screaming basslines and leads. This piece pulls out all the stops and keeps the energy pumping throughout!
Osoch – Gimme R D (Covering ismBoF) | Metal
Inspired in his early fandom days by IsmBoF’s original, Osoch has developed his skills greatly in the years following and created the arguably definitive version of Gimme R D! Just about everything, from the guitar tones to the varied percussion, has been refined but nowhere does it lose the soul of the classic original song. Another wonderful addition to the Osoch catalog!
Rod Steven – The Magic of Friendship Grows (covering Daniel Ingram) | Eurobeat
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; the singing voices of MLP were meant for EDM. Rod Steven’s been doing a great job at continuing the legacy of Odyssey Eurobeat, and it shows with this remix of The Magic of Friendship Grows. All throughout the song are the elements you’d expect in a Eurobeat song, such as the bouncy synth riffs and stabs, upbeat tempo and offbeat bass. The magic of Eurobeat grows!
Tadpole – S.O.S |Industrial/Ambient
Cookies…
Nightmare Night is upon us, and what better way to celebrate it than with a deeply creepy piece from Tadpole? What we’ve been served is something that wouldn’t be out of place in a horror game, as it spends the first 2 minutes building up atmosphere with a droning synth lines and distant sound effects before eventually adding in more elements, like a bass that compliments the already strong atmosphere. Soon after, we’re treated to the addition of strong drums lifted straight from a dubstep track alongside a creepy distorted synth riff. Board up your windows, because the cookie zombies are coming!
Marcus Warner – First Flight 2019 | Orchestral
The 2012 masterpiece First Flight gets revamped by the maestro himself, and it is on brand new skies that we can now re-experience the Scootaloo-themed beauty. With an impressive progression and an intense buildup reflecting the emotion of Scootaloo’s First Flight, this new version definitely hypes up Marcus’ “Reprise EP” some more!
Zephysonas – Equestria at War (feat. Osoch & Soul Strings) | Epic Orchestral
Matching an epic artwork of the finale with epic music, Zephysonas provides such an intense theme featuring lovely melodies, as well as Osoch on the drums and Soul Strings on the bass. A team effort, strong enough to vanquish these villains for sure!
